Easiest way to earn points towards travel

[xraydave]

Last year Air Tran ran a special with Wendys to earn free air travel. I found it on here! Are their any specials running now with airlines? Or, what credit card has the easiest rewards program?
I know I'm leaving this way open but any opinions will help. Thanks Disers!

I like the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card (AMEX). Points earned can be transferred on a 1:1 basis on many airlines, and you earn a 5,000 mile bonus when transferring 20,000 Starwood points to an airline - giving you enough miles for a free domestic ticket.

Keep in mind that frequent flyer tickets can be difficult to get, especially if you have a family. Many times there are only 1 or 2 seats available on a specific flight and you need to book early. Sometimes the only way to get a seat is to use 50,000 miles instead of 25,000.

Also be careful of fees. I know the USAir Signature Visa Card has a fee. They have a Master Card that the fee is waived for the first year.

Does anyone use miles for a family of four to Florida on a regular basis? I want a card for an airline that I can actually get a family of four to Florida and Hawaii. Anyone have a suggestion which card is best for those two destinations?
